wesley willis Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 off white would look best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I prefer gloss white unless you want to color match em to the car. Either way looks pretty good. Black can look ok, but only on some colored cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burtonsnowman Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Black. Black. Black. Matte black. Then paint the car camouflage. Shadow Grass camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 after you paint them, you should buy some chrome trim rings, it will make the wheels look ten times better, plus it hides flaws in the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudduck Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Black.Black. Black. Matte black. Then paint the car camouflage. Shadow Grass camo. Black is good. Or white. And who wants those crome rings? They just get knocked off from rocks and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just get knocked off from rocks and stuff. well thats because you get the junk ones, i get the ones where you have to wrestle them on for like 5 mins a piece:lol: i put them on all my wagon wheels and love the looks and performance increase they make:grin: never had even 1 fall off while wheeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauregaardhooligan Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I like the way my '84 wagon looks with black wheels and tan/gold body. Black doesn't show the brake dust either. I've always wanted to see one done up like a JohnDeere though. Bright green body with school-bus yellow wheels and bumpers! Nothing runs like a Subaru!

blownbimer Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Gona go for gloss white I think....I have the chrome rings/ center caps for it...I'll polish them and put em on! Thanks Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 or go with a carbon fiber color. My friend had an '89 GL sedan with wagon wheels and he painted them this carbon fiber color. It looked sweet. He also did the hood that color since it came off of another vehicle. His sedan was about the same color as your wagon.
